Data Science: a way to transform data into knowledge
The ultimate challenge for Data Science is to transform the enormous abundance of acquired and stored data into useful information for the solution of a specific problem. In this talk, we discuss the links between Data Science, Statistics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Data Mining, and other scientific fields that put data as its main concern. We dedicate special attention to the role of Statistics in an area of data abundance. Topics like career opportunities, education, and the importance of collaborations between industry, universities, and government sectors are also addressed.
